Hello, cousins! This is my first time in the Ruark forum (I have spent some time on the Randall, Randolph, and Pulaski Co forums, as well as for some other branches of my family), and I too was happy to see some names that I recognized. There are a number of Phelps that married into our family, Peyton Randall was my 4-great grandfather.
In case this isn't generally known, I thought I'd mention that there is a monument to Timothy and Sarah Ruark, and one to Peyton and Elizabeth Randall, in the Randall-Herrin cemetery (formerly called the Peyton Randall Cemetery) on Herrin Lane off 80 outside Shopville. I don't have the exact text here, but I have photos of both that I can forward if anyone is interested. (My family still owns a farm on Herrin Lane that was owned by my great-great grandfather, Timothy Jerome ("Rome") Randall, grandson of Peyton Randall / Randolph).
